I wanted to join a private Facebook group, called Creating Heaven on Earth, because that’s what I want to help do. But I didn’t see much variety of names posting messages. So I said the group has a lot of good inspiring messages, but it lacks closeness and collaboration IMO. I shared that I believe Jesus was an angel, not God, and I'm Christian because I believe Jesus taught us how to create heaven on Earth. For fun I said I asked A.I.
How can Christians create heaven on earth?
A.I. replied. Creating heaven on earth is a profound aspiration for Christians. Here are some ways they can actively contribute:
Obey God’s Commandments: Loving neighbors, practicing forgiveness, and promoting justice align with God’s will and help “bring about the new creation” – bridging heaven and earth(1).
Live Out the Gospel: Embrace the transformative power of the gospel. God desires to shape us into His likeness, completing what He began in the Garden of Eden(2).
Serve and Love: Engage in acts of compassion, kindness, and selflessness. By reflecting God’s love, Christians can make a tangible impact on earth, inching closer to heavenly ideals. 🙏🌎🕊️(1),(2)

Heaven on Earth requires justice for all, so I asked A.I.
How can Christians help end major corruption and injustice?
A.I. replied. Christians can play a vital role in addressing corruption and injustice. Here are some ways they can contribute:
Model Integrity: Christian leaders should exemplify fairness and honesty in their roles, demonstrating ethical behavior and inspiring others to follow suit1.
Promote Socially Engaged Theology: Emphasize justice and integrity within theological teachings. Encourage responsible citizenship and collective action against corruption1.
Pray for Change: Seek divine intervention and transformation of hearts. Pray for corrupt individuals to turn away from evil ways(2).

I asked A.I.
How important is unity to Christianity?
A.I. replied. Unity holds significant importance in Christianity. It reflects the shared bond among believers, emphasizing harmony, love, and cooperation. Jesus prayed for unity among His followers, stating, “that they may all be one” (John 17:21). Unity fosters strength, mutual support, and a collective witness to the world. However, historical divisions and denominational differences exist, challenging this ideal. Despite these challenges, Christians continue to strive for unity, guided by their faith and commitment to Christ’s teachings. 🙏🕊️

I was surprised at how sensible A.I.’s responses were. I then said I don't believe people have to say they're Christian in order to create heaven on Earth, but they have to follow Jesus' example of Love for All. And unity is an important aspect of this. I said my free online book discusses Unity at https://acts15church.substack.com/p/righteous-government.
I said I desire to practice unity with others to create heaven on Earth. After being accepted to the group, I left right away because it didn’t allow members to post anything. Only the admins were allowed to post.
